Great knife and equally cool pouch. But the belt and that shirt button also deserve some recognition!! And, the watch ain’t bad either. That’s a K-LGQ (Knife-Lovers Gentlemen’s Quarterly) worthy ensemble!!🤪
- thank you, sir! The belt is a lovely old one from Orvis (have loads of their stuff) and the watch is a Pepsi GMT homage (Davosa) - I couldn't get a real one for love nor money unless I was willing to pay over double here in UK. The shirt is an old Hardball from many years ago too............and I'm equally an ol' fart as well
😄
 
Light rain at the moment. the wind is picking up and there are ominous looking clouds lurking about. It's gotten darker since I took this pic a few minutes ago:


Cheap and cheerful Buck 284 went out to the mailbox with me. Plastic and stainless, it's undeterred by a little rain🌧️
 
Contemplating turning 70 today.

Happy Birthday!!

Beautiful horn there Gary. And a very interesting assortment of tools on that work knife.

I didn't know that Vernors called itself "ginger soda"! I wonder when it changed from "ginger ale". I googled Vernors and found out that it was originally sold only at soda fountains. Strange Michigan vocabulary: I think we used the term "soda fountains" for the places in the drug stores where you could buy pop and ice cream floats - seems kind of inconsistent! o_O:rolleyes:

Thanks for the kind words about my chestnut Cases, Jeremy. I really like Case knives with CV blades and jigged chestnut bone! :)

While I cannot attest to the reasons for a MI company calling it soda instead of pop, I can tell you that if you ever try it, it is not like any ginger ale out there. It will spoil you for sure. It’s essentially ginger ale meets cream soda with a real ginger taste. i stopped drinking soda/pop years ago but Vernors is the only exception from time to time or if I’m sick.

Soda, pop, I don’t mind either; as long as you don’t call everything ‘coke’… 😆

That darker blue is beautiful in natural light Travis. You and Nate are getting good!!
